After being reminded by the versatile audience in the live broadcast room, Xue Xunyu finally understood why this kind of novice guidance was embarrassing.
Others can say that I have the dignity to stop playing, but Xue Xunyu can't do that. He has signed an agreement with Qingyu. If he flips the table, he will not only lose money, but also damage his credibility in this industry.
So Xue Xunyu tried his best to ignore the embarrassing novice guidance. After all, even without novice guidance, Xue Xunyu could rely on his game experience to judge what to do next.
Unfortunately, the game did not turn off the novice guidance function, so when Xue Xunyu controlled the original creature, approached and swallowed the "nutrients", the system assistant once again said in a very awkward tone:
"Very good, now that you have swallowed a portion of nutrients, you can observe that your 'nutritional value' has increased. This is an important value that determines whether a living thing can survive."
There was originally no "nutritional value" in the game interface. There was only one called "health value" in the lower left corner of the game.
"Nutritional value" is the data in the next column of "health value" that just appeared after Xue Xunyu swallowed "nutrients", and at this time the system assistant continued to explain:
"The development, division and reproduction of an organism all depend on the state of 'nutritional value', and 'nutritional value' is increased by eating."
"If you fail to find food for a long time, the 'nutritional value' will begin to decrease. When the 'nutritional value' bottoms out, the 'health value' will begin to decrease. When the 'health value' reaches zero, the creature will die."
This concept is not complicated, so Xue Xunyu can understand it easily. This is also related to the fact that in this era, living things are generally relatively simple.
When "Epic of Life" enters the subsequent game stages, increasing "nutritional value" cannot be achieved by simply swallowing "nutrients", because there will also be a digestion process.
In the future, some players will take advantage of this and develop an extremely clumsy style of play, which is to specifically attack the opponent's digestive parts to let out the "nutrients" that they have not yet digested.
Of course, these are things that will only happen in the game in the distant future. Now, the only creature controlled by Xue Xunyu is an extremely primitive creature.
After Xue Xunyu devoured and played with this "nutrient", he began to look for other "nutrients" to devour. At this time, the system assistant's science information appeared on the upper right side of the interface, sorting out what kind of situation they were in now.
The old view born in the 19th century believed that in the long previous era, countless small inorganic molecules formed inorganic macromolecules, and then organic small molecules to organic macromolecules, and finally formed primitive life.
In the "Rain God Age" that just ended, the violent primitive ocean received countless nutrients, and these nutrients became the original food of primitive creatures.
This point of view is simple and easy to understand, but there is a problem, that is, how are organic macromolecules assembled into primitive organisms? So far, no one has been able to successfully complete this crucial link.
Therefore, by the time of the 21st century, academic circles have gradually begun to lean towards a brand new view, that is, the source of life does not lie above the sea of clouds, but near the dark and deep submarine craters.
The turbulent undersea volcanic craters continued to erupt, bringing countless nutrients and also giving the first primitive creatures an anchor point. The primitive creatures controlled by Xue Xunyu at this time were located near a deep-sea volcanic crater.
Whenever Xue Xunyu swallows a "nutrient", a value in the lower right corner of the interface will rise a little. There are a lot of "nutrients" near the deep sea crater, so it doesn't take him much time to get the value to the top.
So a new icon appeared on the right side of the interface. Xue Xunyu didn't even need to read the text description, he could know the meaning of the function from the pattern.
The picture presented by this pattern is of two cell-like organisms connected by broken lotus roots, and there is a dotted line in the middle that represents cutting. Anyone who has received basic biology education can guess that it means dividing cells.
Well, although the primitive creatures currently controlled by Xue Xunyu can hardly even be counted as cells, it does not prevent us from describing the function this way.
Under the guidance of the system assistant, Xue Xunyu clicked the button on the right side of the interface, and then the original life he controlled slowly split into two.
When the original creature split, Xue Xunyu realized that compared with the original, through the continuous devouring of nutrients, its size was much larger than the original, and it only returned to its original size after splitting.
Now Xue Xunyu can control two primitive creatures, which means that there is a greater need for "nutrients", otherwise the primitive creatures may starve to death.
At the same time, the system assistant popped up a new prompt to Xue Xunyu in the upper right corner of the interface, indicating that there was a situation in the game that was inconsistent with history.
In normal history, when primitive creatures were first born, there was no situation where Xue Xunyu could control the actions of two groups of primitive creatures at the same time like Xue Xunyu does now.
This kind of group action does not appear until much later. It is a transitional stage when single-cell organisms transform into multi-cell organisms, thus laying the foundation for the differentiation of cell functions.
But the reason why "Epic of Life" allows players to act in groups in the primitive biological stage is mainly due to gameplay considerations.
After all, "Epic of Life" is an online game. If it simply adopts the big fish eats the small fish model, it will definitely lose a large number of players very quickly.
Therefore, in order to increase the antagonism of this game, when the world was still in the "Eoarchean Era", players could already control primitive creatures to carry out group actions.
In fact, Xue Xunyu had this feeling at this time. Looking at the number of people in his live broadcast room, we can tell that some viewers were bored and left one after another.
After all, the current "Epic of Life" is not just a replica of the big fish eating the small fish, and even if it is purely interesting, it is not as interesting as the "chaos mode" in "Jitulu Rahu".
Of course, viewers can quit the live broadcast room because they feel bored, and other players can also stop playing, but Xue Xunyu, who signed the contract, must at least play through a certain process.
So why does "Epic of Life" need to make swarm action appear in this era in advance after the original creatures split?
Xue Xunyu didn't know the reason for this, but he was keenly aware that after the proliferation, his original creatures moved a little strangely. This was an instinctive consciousness left in him after playing streaming games countless times in the past. .
